The Night Boat, Robert R. McCammon

A man is diving for salvage when he accidentally sets off an old depth charge. In addition to nearly killing the guy, the resulting explosion unearths a u-boat, which promptly bobs to the surface.

This is of course impossible, but considering the things in the u-boat, big fucking deal. Zombie Nazis are coming to town.

Ridiculous, but gory.

An Unsuitable Job for a Woman, P.D. James

A young woman's partner in a detective agency kills himself, leaving his partner the car, the business, and the gun.

Cordelia's first case on her own involves another suicide. A man wants to find out why his son killed himself. But as Cordelia investigates, she begins to suspect the suicide wasn't suicide at all.

Pretty decent, I had no idea who did it. But that could be because I haven't been sleeping very well.
